I use the following earpiece with Skype and my laptop: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o04_s00_i00

I use it only for calls. It would stay charged all day long, and some days more, with no problem. Then about two weeks ago it started fully draining after 3-5 hours. It's as if the earpiece is no longer going in standby mode and is completely in active mode for the full-time, as 3-5 hours is the listed talk time for this piece.

I thought it might have been a bad earpiece, so I ordered another copy of the same one and am having the same exact problem. My thought is that either Skype is keeping the connection open or my laptop is keeping the connection open. I have looked around in various settings but not really seeing anything.

Has anyone seen or experienced anything like this before?
